“While today’s carpets resist stains and soiling better than ever, no carpet is fully stain-proof,” says Consumer Reports. “There’s certainly no lack of cleaning options, including buying a carpet-cleaning machine, renting one, or hiring a pro. We tried them all. While nothing beat the ease and performance of a pro, some of the machines we tested came pretty close for less money.”
Here is the Consumer Reports’ selection of recommended carpet cleaners. The maximum overall score is 100, and “Best Buy” models offer more value.
Consumer Reports is an American magazine published monthly since 1936. It features reviews and comparisons of consumer products and services based on reporting and results from its in-house testing laboratory and survey research centre. The magazine accepts no advertising, pays for all the products it tests, and, as a not-for-profit organisation, has no shareholders. It also publishes cleaning and general buying guides. (Wikipedia.)
